Fundamental attribution error: the tendency to see the person/internal factors rather than the situation/external factors as the main cause of that person's behaviour.
For example, when someone is late, we tend to think "oh that person must be lazy or tardy" rather than consider that it may have been because his car broke down on their way here or there was some sort of accident. The reason we do that is because it is much harder to observe external factors (so it is easier to just blame the person for the behaviour).
